3-5-2 is a bad bad choice. We scored from a non-exitent penalty and from an perfect individual effort...... I just can not believe it how obvious our game-play is where even i know exactly what the next move or pass from every player in our team will be.
My gosh, it's quite unbelievable to say this after a match where we smashed the opponents in their own box for the most of the time and enter in their box with 6-7 players, and honestly, it's not the first time we manage to do that, we did it even against big opponents sometimes.
Neither I generally like 3-5-2, but can't be denied that Conte let it work really well. This 3-5-2 gives use intensity and numeric superiority in both phases, and that's a fact.
That doesn't mean you'll dominate every match, because you need also a proper physical condition from your mids for it to work, but I can't complain for what I've seen in the last... 18 months.
It's beyond me (and this is not directed to anyone, it's a general statement) how a coach who was the probably most important factor in these last 2 years of success can be seen as a complete douche who can't understand some basic stuff cause he doesn't play our favourite system. It's beyond me.
